This apart, the blockbuster TV series will premiere a special preview of the show’s first episode in Tokyo and Hyogo a few days before its broadcast date, Yibada reported. The exciting news came to light when @SongJoongKi_SG posted a screenshot on their official Twitter account on June 6.
Unconfirmed reports claimed that the blockbuster television series was sold to Japan for 2 billion won (roughly $1.7 million). Soompi reported that “Descendants of the Sun” has been sold to Japan for an estimated $100,000 per episode.
